So near yet so far

It's just like the movies... he's perhaps the guy who sits next to you in class; or he's the guy whom you bumped into everyday on the bus; maybe your best friend whom you go out with all the time. Yet... he's just a stranger, or well, just a friend despite the closeness.

I will be spending half a day travelling to a foreign land, far away from home. Coming Monday, I will be stepping on the same foreign land with him. But he will still be so far away from me. I wonder if the hearts can feel the closeness.

Sometimes, I can miss him even though he's just in front of me. I miss him when I receive a message from him. I'll definitely miss him loads while I am away, while both of us are away.

Of course I miss you all too. Hehe... and I'm sure MC will miss me, especially. Heh.

I still haven't packed yet. I've put aside some attire but have no inspiration of what sort of fashion to do. My attire planning got even more challenging when I don't have enough trendy attire to start with. Sigh... A good reason to shop during my trip!

And I bought a pair of Crocs, which cost me RM169. I know... so expensive, I don't know what I was thinking when I paid for the shoes. But I'm quite confident that it will delivery the promised comfort. I need a pair of comfortable walking shoes if I want to survive walking a lot during the trip. Sore legs shouldn't come in between me and shopping. Haha...

Oh ya, I've packed my swimming attire too, very ambitious. Well, actually I'm not even sure if this four star hotel has a swimming pool even IF I can find time. I must not neglect workout right?

Okay. I think tomorrow is going to be extremely hectic and busy. It always happens just before annual leave. It's like I will be gone forever or I won't come back to see the company or something like that. Humph...

A bit lost

Most of the time I've got clear direction in my career, my life and my dreams. But sometimes I'm a bit lost.

When I'm inspired, I am convinced that I will do anything to achieve my dreams. But at times when I'm in a bad mood (like now) I am a bit lost, as in I lose myself. I think to myself: Shall I just stay in my comfort zone?

Sigh...

Today I got really irritated at work and I ridiculously thought that the boss was being unreasonable. Or maybe he was being unreasonable. I spoke to my overseas friend who's self-employed, he me all bosses are like that and they are worse in Hong Kong. Well... maybe those bosses in the large corporate companies I came from were not like that (Except for the Devil ex-boss). So, is self-employ the solution for me?

I think I'm just tired. I will pick myself up tomorrow and continue to pursue my dreams.

When cupcakes are more "serious"

Have been making really cute cupcakes, I'd to say. These would be the more "adult" version.

Chocolate coated coffee beans for MFG. Drizzled with dark chocolate sauce.

Marshmallows drizzled with dark chocolate sauce.

Can't wait...

Congratulations to the soon to be Mummy.



Thanks Lady Nina for placing the order with TTB. This is such an honour :)

Went all the way... for RPM

My gym schedule for today was rather "fluctuating"...

Started with my usual plan, combat at TC then skip pump since Carebear is still not back yet.

Changed to RPM at Axis cause I've rescheduled the delivery with Lady Nina and the plan that made most sense was gym at Axis while I'm at the delivery.

Later changed to SPK because the Lady had some prior engagement downtown. I'm quite alright with that, I will do cardio.

Then changed back to Axis because the forgetful Lady (so I quote her!) said wrong day. Alright! Axis better actually, no need to go through traffic jam at rush hour.

I was quite sure I had to change RPM to cardio at Axis because I started a discussion with boss at 6.00pm. Humph... But I still planned to workout. M U S T workout today!

But hey! I left office at 6.40pm and the traffic was great! Not congested at all and I reached Axis slightly after 7.15pm. When I reached the reception for registration of RPM, there were only like what, 3 names on it.

That's when I changed my mind on RPM. I want to join BS instead! Because I saw Little Bro's name on the registration form for BS. With much regret, I told Lady Nina I hope she didn't mind if I "ditch" her for BS. (But, I brought up a wrong shoes).

When I was waiting for BS, Little Bro came over looking a bit pale, and true enough, he told me he had food poisoning, AND he was not teaching that BS slot.

Ahhh... changed back to RPM (and still wrong shoes, what was I thinking when I took that pair up with me?!).

Okay, one good thing was there was still available bike. Had to register in order to take the "cards" cannot just simply join that class.

So... after went through many many change of plans. RPM it was. And I nearly died. At track 1, I think I was really feeling the fatigue on my thighs already. Track 2, I NEED 100plus! Track 3 onwards I wish I was at the cardio machine instead. Track 6, warghhh... I thought Track 5 was the last track (yeah, wish hard humph...). Then, my toes started to hurt because I brought the wrong shoes remember? This particular pair is half size smaller - I bought it because it was on really good sale and half size wasn't a bit problem - so when too much impact due to the spinning movements, the toes got kind of squashed. I wish the class ended then.

Luckily I got some cheering from Lady Nina. (Go! Gooo!!) Otherwise I think I might just pretend that I fainted and dropped off the bike to save my legs from detaching from my body.

And I was so proud of myself for finishing the class and leaving behind a large pool of sweat (yucksss!!). RPM was never easy. I also nearly died the last time I joined TD's class :p.

Sunday Insomnia Continues...

Just when I thought I've recovered from my Sunday insomnia, or rather, just when I thought I've found out the reason for having insomnia, and solve it. I still had insomnia last night. That was despite having eye bag the size of an egg and feeling very tired.

So today I look like a zombie and even my boss said I looked tired when he saw me at the lift landing just now. I cannot concentrate and I'm not able to hold onto my thoughts. I looked at things and I will feel that I go crossed eyed, preparing to doze off...

I need help!

Where are you Lady Nina??

Where is the Lady N??

I feel very bad. I'm running behind schedule because I came back an hour later due to some extra time discussion with my boss. Baking a cake now for tomorrow's dinner gathering. Preparing the jam for my pineapple tart. The cake will take another hour to bake, the jam... argh... will take more than an hour. AND IT'S 11.00pm!!!

Mum arranged a chanting session on Sunday evening with my aunt and family. Yeah, I had to lead, and I need to practise with my cousin tomorrow.

So, to Lady N: I really have to do some "rescheduling" with you if possible.

And I really do feel very bad for changing the plan.

Now... I remember what I've forgotten. I need to prepare for MC chocolate chip cookie mix and cornflakes cookies mix.

Finally, I'm away from 19 - 23 September. I have a 3 item delivery on Friday (26 September) - MC you will help me ya!!
